Oh honey, spill the tea! 😍 Thomas Markle, the 81-year-old retired lighting director and forever-estranged dad to Meghan Markle, has struck gold in love. He met Rio Canedo, a 46-year-old Filipina nurse (yes, 35 years his junior), at the Cebu rehab clinic he checked into last December after losing his lower left leg. 'I never expected to find joy and happiness again at my age,' he gushed to the Mail on Sunday. 'I felt neglected and sad for so many years but now I am enjoying life again.' 💕
